[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Night Light" Episode 62016/12/06,
At the end of this episode I had an annoying moment of realization. Technically the story hasn't actually started yet. We're still in the set-up. I-kyeong is still "training" Se-jin who, true to form, is slow to adjust when past actions catch up to her and the younger woman is completely unsure as to the extent she can or should lie. Nothing turns out too badly but ultimately all we've learned is another important aspect of the backdrop- the rules can change, if temporarily, provided enough money changes hands,...More

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Night Light" Episode 52016/12/05,
After a fairly dramatic cliffhanger "Night Light" fails to deliver on much of that promise this episode. The general personalities of its characters do not gain any new dimensions here. Even the big central scheme ends up being fairly lackluster, since all it really amounts to is Se-jin acting cool and confident thanks to the afterglow from I-kyeong's aura. While that's all well and good, Se-jin was able to do plenty of that before she ever even met I-kyeong,...More

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Night Light" Episode 42016/11/29,
We finally get some detail into Gun-woo (played by Jin Goo). Technically he's I-kyeong's love interest and rival, although that's a very misleading way to describe his character. The main obvious reason for this is that I-kyeong is stone cold and mean to everyone. She was like that even in flashback. But Gun-woo is the antithesis to I-kyeong in other ways too. He thinks constructively. Moreso in flashback, obviously. In the present day, though, Gun-woo hates the game more than he does any of the players,...More

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Night Light" Episode 32016/11/28,
While the literal plot is I-kyeong educating Se-jin on the finer points of what exactly is this concept we call "money", metaphorically, there's a frequently educational tinge to the presentation of "Night Light". Writer Han Ji-hoon seems to be speaking to us more than he is telling a story- and the lessons are valuable. Time and again we see that what makes the rich people in this drama powerful is precisely that they do not throw their weight around unless they absolutely have to,...More

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Night Light" Episode 22016/11/22,
Se-jin is pretty well-seduced by the glamorous cool promised through I-kyeong's slick in-charge attitude. Of course, this predictably goes badly because really, if the job was so easy I-kyeong would have just done it herself. So what we're left is a tense and frightening hostage situation as Se-jin desperately tries to negotiate herself out of certain disaster. I-kyeong's hilariously blasé reaction to the entire sordid affair is, unsurprisingly, pretty enraging. At least until Se-jin gets back to her normal job,...More

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Night Light" Episode 12016/11/21,
I-kyeong (played by Lee Yo-won) is a brutally tough businesswoman. Se-jin (played by UEE) is a street tough who's good at business. Together they...have an antagonistic countenance as part and parcel of an ominous flashforward before the action rewinds to a week earlier. It's fairly evident that "Night Light" is planning to toss us into the middle of a high-stakes upper class financial war, but as of yet, the exact motivations of its characters are left unclear,...More

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Drama Special - Friendly Criminal"2014/08/10,
A long time ago Chae-ryeong (played by Ko Jeong-min) was subjected to a terrible crime, which aside from some immediate tension is given surprisingly little focus. The essential facts are laid out pretty simply- Chae-ryeong was hurt, and didn't get any help from her friends. Whether there was much they could have done, or if it was reasonable to expect much of them, what with their being dumb teenagers and all, is left unclear. But in the present day, at least, Chae-ryeong appears amenable to reuniting with them,...More

[HanCinema's Film Review] "Precious Love"2013/11/23,
I was surprised to discover near the end of this film that main character On-yoo (played by Lim Ji-gyoo) is actually thirty two years old. There's a youthful energy and optimism to this man that certainly makes it seem like he's several years younger than that. On-yoo is not exactly in a great situation right now in his life, yet seems to take every possible opportunity to be a smiling, cheerful, positive-thinking man.
Contrast our other main character Ye-na (played by Sim I-yeong). She looks weary, tired, and ten years older than her actual age. This is a woman who's been beaten down by life,...More
